Connect or Disconnect Google Business Profile

If you want to connect your Mailchimp account with your Google Business profile, use the Google Business Profile app. This lets you add information from your Google Business profile to email campaigns you create. For example, you can add your hours, a map to your business, or photos of your business from your Google Business profile directly to your email campaign without having to upload anything to your Mailchimp account.

In this article, you’ll learn how to connect and disconnect Google Business Profile and how it works with Mailchimp.

Before you start

• You'll need a Google Business profile for your business.
• You must be using the new email builder to use this app. For more information about the new builder, check out Design an Email with the New Builder
• Once you’ve used the app to add information to an email, it remains the same even if you update your Google Business profile.

How it works

Once you begin the connection process, you’ll be prompted to sign into your Google Business account and authorize Mailchimp’s access to the account.

After your accounts are connected, you can choose which information in your Google Business profile you want to add to your email. You can customize the information you’re sharing for each email campaign you build.
